Robbie Williams reveals new single ‘Spies’ and confirms ‘BRITPOP’ tracklist

Having returned in massive fashion back in May to announce plans for a new album, ‘BRITPOP’, Robbie Williams has now shared the record’s second single, as well as revealing details of its tracklist and release date. 

Due out on 10th October via Columbia Records, ‘BRITPOP’ is set to be an 11-track affair (including one intriguingly-named number titled ‘Morrissey’) that sees the Take That star turned solo chart-topper “create the album [he] wanted to write and release in 1995”.

Picking up precisely where lead single ‘Rocket’ left off, new song ‘Spies’ is another anthemic, guitar-driven earworm, which Robbie co-wrote alongside longtime collaborators Karl Brazil and Owen Parker.

What’s more, to mark its arrival, a tongue-in-cheek new plaque has been erected in Camden - the third Robbie-related sign to appear this year, following sightings of others at Glastonbury and Soho’s Berwick Street. It reads: “Robbie Williams recovered from a severe case of “long 90s” and returned to the home of BRITPOP with the album he always wanted to make.”
